The Island's first medicinal cannabis dispensing service is now up and running.
It means patients with a private prescription for Cannabis Based Products for Medicinal use (CBPMs) will be able to have their prescription fulfilled locally.
From today, patients get their prescription through Karsons pharmacy in Onchan.
However, these kind of prescriptions aren't available on the NHS, so people will have to use private clinics on a specialist register which allows them to prescribe CBPMs.
Initially, government says it may take around 7-10 working day, for medication to arrive on Island - it's hoped this will reduce in time.
